The accompanying photo (if I manage to upload it!) does not do any justice to the excellent food that was presented to me. Maybe if I'd added all of those beautifully HOT and soft/crisp chips to my plate it would have looked better. However, I didn't want them to get in the way of my being able to tackle the HOT and so tasty skewered chicken, Italian sausage, peppers and onions and the delicious light salad with drizzled dressing, and so I devoured them from their side plate. Did I enjoy it? Oh, yes, I really did!

We started with the haggis and lunch sampler. The haggis was delicious. I don't know what people saying when its "bad". Also the lunch sampler with the pate was one of the better pates I've had. For lunch 6 of the 7 us ordered mushroom soup and venison pie. Best lunch we have on our holiday aka our vacation. The service was also incredible. The chef and hostess were delightful. They came out to check up on us multiple times and chatted as well.

No problem, that's on me, even though the hours published on their website don't list the kitchen closing during any certain times and their hours went until much, much later. Still, no real complaint; just the way it is. Fast forward to Sunday. I won't get caught short again; I have a foolproof plan. I'll call ahead. The discourteous person on the other end of the phone explains to me that their kitchen hours are 1115a to 730p. Thanks, we will see you before long then. We arrive just prior to 3pm and the same person I spoke to on the phone informs me that they simply have nothing available; reservations required. Now, this isn't posted on their website, but I understand that since it's Easter Sunday, they may have temporary rules for that. But how about this? TELL ME THAT ON THE PHONE WHEN I CALL AND ASK ABOUT TODAY'S KITCHEN HOURS!!! My bottom line in this place is that they may have great food, but I suspect that they just aren't tourist friendly. We will not give them a third opportunity and if you're here for leisure, I'd recommend that you avoid this place as well. Unless you draft an airtight questionnaire determining when they will deign to allow you to be seated for dinner. And maybe the hostess/phone person should be picked for her abilities to communicate in a friendly, approachable manner.
